    3 Guys Naked from the Waist Down
    • The three guys are stand up comics. Wild and crazy and very very hip, their unique blend of intellectual and slap stick humor propels them from unpaid neophyte performers to the Johnny Carson Show, instant stardom, and their own television show. Then, commercial success evaporates the magic. This is a great piece of theatre. The title stands for the feeling a comic gets when in front of an audience with nothing but a microphone and his imagination. It follows the story of 3 stand-up comics who become a comedy team and ride the Hollywood fast track to success, only to realize that compromising your art for the sake of fame can lead to unexpected results.

      Thriller / Characters: 8 male, 5 female Scenery: 2 Interiors Only Agatha Christie could have conceived such a suspenseful thriller and then capped it with an uncanny triple flip ending. A young married man spends many evenings with a rich old woman. When she is found murdered, the naive young man is the chief suspect. The testimony of his wife is expected to result in an acquittal, but she is a shrew who damages his case and all but hangs him before a vindictive mystery woman appears with letters against the wife. After the man is freed, it is revealed that mystery woman is actually the wife. She discredited and perjured herself because she felt that direct testimony on her husband's behalf would not have been sufficient to free him. When he turns his back on his wife and goes off with another woman, we realize that he was the murderer. He does not get away it, for there is one turn of plot remaining. "A walloping success."-Herald Tribune "Packs plenty of surprise in its cargo of suspense."-Daily Mirror Winner of the New York Critics Circle Award
